In enterprise routers, Cisco's unit share decreased by one point, while the company's revenue share increased by a point in 2009, Infonetics found.

Overall, worldwide enterprise router revenue was down 28% to just over $3 billion in 2009.

3Com was the only vendor to increase enterprise router revenue in 2009, Infonetics found.

Sequentially, Q4 router revenue was up 10% over Q3 to $821 million. Infonetics concludes that enterprise router sales are beginning to stabilize, with sales growing again sequentially and year-over-year declines shrinking.

In WLANs, worldwide revenue was flat sequentially in Q4 at $571 million, but grew 16% compared to Q4 of 2008. For the full year, worldwide Wi-Fi network equipment revenue was down 6% compared to 2008.

WLAN growth in 2010 will be driven by increasing mobility in the enterprise, fixed-mobile convergence and wired/wireless LAN convergence. Cisco continues to lead the WLAN equipment market with 46% in both 2009 and Q4, followed by Aruba Networks, according to Infonetics.
